John Bennett and Matthew Stolte - When Partial Words Collide - and adding Jim SantAmour!

John sends me - and others - the most wonderful things :-).  I have NO idea why, but they just YELL at me to add to them - I'm sure some of you feel that?  John is also a well known ZALOPIST.  ZALOPISTS inhabit ZALOP City in the World of Emphatics.

ZALOPISTS make maps to secret doors leading to ZALOP City.  Its very difficult to find you  see.  This is NOT a FAKE map - this is an AUTHENTIC JMB map.  It is NOT a shopping list.

There are various ways to say hello. Matthew knows quite a few. 

Matthews vispo  is dense, textured - almost as though the seeping ink matches the bleeding words - and visually very rich.  An ideal melding of image and language. It is  textured and rich in color, an ideal melding where language and image are combined.

Spell chick is still sleeping it off three weeks later, too bad. No supper for her when she wakes up. I'd say you could borrow the family but really, only my husband travels far. He's cosmic.
